In my comparisons, the output is definitely very different from my A7, with the characteristic micro-contrast/detail of a Foveon image. So it looks good, but yes some might prefer the Merrill sensor more it seems. Anyways, there are definitely a lot of people out there who can provide their...

Ah, sorry for any miscommunication. I don't claim to compare it to the Merrills on my own (as I've only edited others' Merrill RAW files), but I'm only repeating Sigma's and other's claims of improvement in these areas. If there is a tradeoff, I think the output I'm seeing has plenty of...

Yep, all hand-held. I've left it on Auto-ISO so far. It seems to decrease shutter speed to 1/60 and then increase ISO, which I've found to be pretty good for handholding this lens and achieving sharp results. I took a couple throwaway shots at ISO 800 and 1600 to test out the other night. ISO...

My test shoot DP2 Quattro arrived the other day and I've played around with it and grabbed some shots--enough to give a first-look impression of the camera and the images it can produce. The camera itself is a strange, modern design, that much is plainly obvious from just looking at it. I think...

FYI, sent you a PM yesterday.

Congrats on explore =) It took the algorithm nearly 3 years to pick one of my photos up on explore, but since then I've had a few more and even had 4 go up within the same week (all photos of my dog, lol). It's always nice to get the exposure. Like others have said, the selection process can...

Awesome! How do you like the DP1M lens? I had a DP1X, but wasn't crazy about the f4 aperture and close-focus abilities. Foveon seems to scream for landscapes though, so I like the focal length.

Great images... goes to show it's the photographer, not the camera!

Extremely impressive. I don't have a E-M5, but I've always wondered how long it would be possible to hand-hold with the new 5-axis stabilization. I recently got off a 2 second exposure with my 45-200mm @166mm on my GF1. It was braced against the handrail of my backyard stairs, so it had a little...

Thanks for the comparison! Looks like the E-M5 maxes out the blue/green highlights in the first comparison, causing the wall to turn red. That might explain some of the advantage in the shadows compared to the RX100, despite the close DXO numbers. The RX100 is certainly impressive, though.

Go for the Olympus 9-18mm mZD. Fantastic walk-around during the day. Compliments your other lenses perfectly.

The NEX-6 looks like a winner to me. I like the size of the 16-50 lens, and the 35/1.8 and 10-18/4 finally fill gaps in the NEX lineup. Maybe it's time to retire my GF1 in favor of a Sony? I thought I would pick the E-M5 when prices fell a bit, but this looks like it could be a better package.

Hey Tilman, love your photos. I favorite'd one of your shots on flickr a long, long time ago. Nice to come back to your stream and see some more marvelous shots.

On ebay now. BIN $350 Sigma DP1x 14.4 MP Foveon Digital Camera - (upgraded DP1 / DP1s) with Lens Hood (085126927325) | eBay

Very cool feature. It's limited to 25 updates, but you can change the rate of refresh to as often as once every 1/2 second.

Knowing Sigma, these will no doubt take amazing (low ISO) pictures, be crazy expensive, have 2007-slow compact camera performance... and be available in 2014.

I'm selling my DP1x. Awesome little camera with the magical Foveon sensor. Camera is in great condition overall. A few light scratches on the LCD, but hardly noticeable (see picture). Much faster operation and superior color accuracy compared to the DP1 & DP1s. Comes with everything in...

Judging by the shadows, I'd guess direct, not bounced. What flash mode was used?

One more in B&W:

Thanks for the kind words! A couple more images from that weekend:

I took a few more with my DP1x this past weekend. Rare beach weather in January:

Thanks for the video! Have you guys played with the Samsung NX200 at all?

Olympus should have announced this with a high-end weather-sealed body.

Thanks, I've been reading your review as each part went up. The Samsung has the lens lineup I wish that Sony had, which makes it really tempting. I have a decent investment in m4/3 glass right now though, so switching would have to be worth it. Meanwhile, the GX1 and G3 are tempting me with...

Question for those who have this camera--do you typically shoot JPG or RAW or switch between the two? It seems like JPG would suffice for ISO 1600 and below, but above that, Samsung's awful processing would force a switch to RAW. For those who shoot JPG at lower ISO, do you see any downsides...

Great, thank you! I agree that the detail does not even match up to the E-P3's. Looks like there is strong compression being used. It's not a dealbreaker for me though. The colors look pretty nice in the NX's video, and the slow-motion feature would fun to try.

I did notice the NX20 has 720p at 60fps. Does anyone know if this is actual 60fps or just doubled 30fps? I always thought it was a pretty neat feature of the GH cameras to shoot slow-motion.

Thanks for your impressions. The NX system has nearly matured to the point where it can contend with the m4/3 lineup. I also noticed a 55mm f1.8 pancake and 12-24mm f4 ultra-wide are rumored to be on the way. The DPReview studio shots from the NX200 look VERY impressive. Too bad about...

I shoot RAW and process general color, exposure settings in SPP. Then I export to a JPG for less important images, or 16-bit TIFF if I want extra quality. Then, I import into Lightroom and finish touching up. For serious clone-work or merging, I use Photoshop. I use SPP5.1, and I like it...

A few images from a recent trip to NYC and upstate New York (DP1x): New York 2011 - a set on Flickr

Thank you so much for the kind words =) These two were both taken near South Lake Tahoe in California. I woke up at 6am on vacation to get the early light. The mountains are pretty tall, so you can see only the top of the peaks in the second image were lit by the sunrise. The first shot...

DP1x:

Here's a quick comparison chart between the models: Sigma DP2x vs DP2s vs DP2 - What's New? Since the DP2/s/x all have the True II processor I think speed is similar between all 3 versions. DP2s improved auto-focus, and DP2x added AFE for better color accuracy. I just bought a...
